Hi all,
I would appreciate some opinions on which places are or aren't worth visiting having a couple of days to spend in Singapore. I'm thinking of attractions, not shopping, such as arts museum, botanic gardens, zoo, the Flyer and such. All replies appreciated as I don't know SG at all. Thanks.

Hola Musica :)

Welcome from Singapore :)

Singapore is an extremely modern city & you will be amazed to see some of the things here. A few must-do things in Singapore -

1. Have a drink at Ku-deta on the Skypark @ Marina Bay Sands. This is on the 57th floor & you will love the view of Singapore from there. Best time to go - Just before twilight time i.e. around 6-6.30 pm.

2. Singapore Zoo - Not sure if this will be of interest to you.

3. Night Safari - The zoo turns into night safari in the evening after 6. This is quite nice.

4. Jurong Bird Park - Not sure if this will be of interest to you.

5. Clarke Quay - Spend an evening at Clarke Quay. This place is full of restaurants & pubs. Amazing energy :)...Best time to go - after 8 pm

6. Sentosa - Sentosa is an interesting place to go to. A bit touristy & makes you feel you are in an imaginary world :)...but its nice...U will end up spending the entire day there.

7. Chinatown & Little India - These are the 2 heritage districts. Interesting to walk around a bit, see the different colors :), shop some traditional stuff. Covering both the districts should not take more than half a day.

8. Ducktours - From a place called Suntec, there are ducktours which take place. Check out more info on - http://www.ducktours.com.sg/
This can end up taking half a day or 1 day

Incase you wanna catch up sometime while you are here, do let me know.

My cell no. here is +65 9023 6960

Look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,

Hey, thanks so much for the informative reply.
I think the night safary sounds interesting,not sure about Sentosa I will look it up.
I've read about Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, is it nice? (I like nature so thought it might be interesting).
Thanks again :)

Yeah, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is quite nice...you can also add McRitchie Reservoir & Henderson Walk onto the above list..both of them fit your requirements :)

Sentosa would be a good choice. Albeit pricey
